It’s got a processor that runs computer code, so it has a clock. Otherwise, what’s the point of the Settings ➜ Advanced Settings ➜ Sync Time Sync button? You should be able to confirm that it’s got a clock by popping in a microSD card while your Video Doorbell v2 is offline and then pulling it after a few minutes and looking at the files written to the card. That’s what comes to mind as a test for me, anyway. That does raise some other questions, though:
- Is Video Doorbell v2 afflicted by the same issues as some other Wyze cameras, where if the device loses its Internet connection it starts recording to a different subdirectory on the microSD card that isn’t accessible where a user would expect to find it in the timeline?
- Why doesn’t Wyze use the location that users can set at Account ➜ Home for time-based features/functions and then either default the devices’ time to the time zone for that location or (better yet) allow users to set more than one location and assign individual devices to each? Then tapping the Sync should set the devices’ time based on NTP (or something similar) according to their assigned location-based time zones, and time-based device features should execute based on those times.
